Parking was a little tricky but we were so glad to discover this popular BBQ spot. The beef brisket was fantastic!! Gluten free options were available. Kids meals were perfect for the kids. They loved the BBQ and the fries. So very glad we checked it out.
A must-stop in Kansas City, Slap's BBQ is aptly named—this place truly "slaps"! The best part for me is that it's Gluten Free! Having tried BBQ in the South and East, I can confidently say Slap's has earned its reputation. The meat is incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Portions are huge, and the sides are shareable, featuring the tastiest sweet potato fries and coleslaw I've had. Seriously, everything here hit the mark and then some.
The burnt ends were perfectly crispy yet tender, while the chicken leg quarter and beef cuts offered a delightful, naturally smoky flavor. The sausage was incredibly flavorful, and while a touch salty for my personal taste, it was beautifully balanced by the sweet potato fries and creamy coleslaw. Don't miss the sauce station, where you'll find both spicy and sweet BBQ options. They perfectly complement the meats without overwhelming their natural flavors, offering a delightful blend of sweet, smoky, and just the right amount of red chili spice.
Plus, there are plenty of lids and boxes for your inevitable leftovers! My only minor gripe was that the picnic tables weren't cleaned after each use. However, if I'm ever in Kansas City again, I'm driving straight to Slap's BBQ - This isn't just a clever name; it's a promise delivered.
Food was excellent and price was very reasonable especially for the quality and amount of food. The gluten free options were greatly appreciated!! So nice to be able to order worry free!
really grateful to Isaac for taking extra steps for my mom who has a significant gluten sensitivity (not celiac, though). did so even without us asking and was training the other employees about it as well. and was really kind. thank you, Isaac!! that level of care was unexpected and very much appreciated.
Gluten Free burger and side salad. Careful about cross contamination and they knew about no croutons! Very impressed. 3+ options for GF adult drinks. No dedicated fryer.
I have celiac disease. As does several in my family. We took my parents here for breakfast and all of us did very well. The staff took care to prepare our food the way we needed it. Our waitress was very good and attentive. I would recommend it as a place to eat if you have celiac disease. This is the location out of the legends in KCK.
My kids love the place. My daughter has Celiac and Culver's has been a great place with safe options for her to pick. Also, all my kids love their ice cream..
Delicious! Exceptionally accommodating for my gluten free kiddo! Only thing that bothered me was there was no curtain over the window right above the toilet!!

Seats were nice they even had gluten free choices the food was delicious music is nice and peaceful when I dropped my chop sticks they got me a new pair before I could ask in general I recommend this place for sushi the pho is inexpensive but my mom let me try some of hers it was delicious do recommend
The prices were really good for the amount of food given which was plenty. The restaurant is build your own poke or ramen and a friendly robot delivers it to your table. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when it involved a gluten allergy. I would for sure go again.

So many coffee options to choose from. I had a breakfast sandwich with Gluten Free break. Was very hot and fresh. Waited maybe 5 mins. Great service. I told them I had not been here before and they gave me great recommendations. Will definitely come back!
Very good food here! I've been going to this location for years and the food is delicious. Inside could use a little freshening up but the food is very good. I usually get the pho but have tried other things. The service is fast and efficient. You can get bubble tea and spring rolls as well. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options too.
Very cute shop kind of in the middle of nowhere with a selection of tea, plants, clothing, accessories, and baked goods. The menu is pretty vague (it just says “tea” or “latte”) so ask for recommendations. I got the turmeric chai with oat milk and the pistachio halva, which was a bit expensive but the only gluten free option to eat, and it was tasty.
Last night we had the BEST meal catered to our Holiday Party!!! Yes, we are celebrating in February and YES, we called at 11 am for a 4:30 pm delivery for 25 people!!! Gus's worked their magic and took our order with no worries or issues. The food arrived on time and was absolutely DELISH!!! The chicken is a hit with our Gluten Free employees adore the chicken...yes, you heard me right...our gluten free folks can eat the chicken!!!The staff! Sooo good...from the person taking our order to the delivery gal were amazing! Please take my advice and order Gus's to be delivered for all your large events! You won't regret it!
I went for lunch and feel like I found a hidden gem. The staff were friendly, the food was incredible, and the atmosphere was cozy. I am glad I got the opportunity to enjoy my food at the cafe. I'm not gluten free, but they had gluten free treats. I personally had the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich and a Carrot Cake cookie. Both were absolutely delightful. I'm not usually on the Kansas side of the state line but I look forward to visiting again when I am!
Celiac friendly
